LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

As a Christian, I wish Kelly Maddy and the Joplin chapter of the
National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws success, but
for re-legalizing, not just decriminalizing, cannabis.

Another reason to stop caging humans for using the God-given plant
cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is because it is biblically
correct. Christ God Our Father indicates he created all the
seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very
first page. The only biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that
it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5).
